Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Kyocera TASKalfa 552ci is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You buy refurbished Kyocera color hardware at deep discount
  • You print 12,000 to 30,000 pages a month with mixed color and B&W
  • You need 55 ppm color and 55 ppm B&W parity
  • You operate other 552ci units in fleet
  • You want low Kyocera cost-per-page on color
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if firmware updates are infrequent
  • It's fine if optional fax covers a workflow
  • It's fine if you add staple and hole-punch finishing
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need current Kyocera security firmware
  • Skip this if Kyocera Cloud Print integration matters
  • Skip this if monthly volume exceeds 35,000 pages
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Kyocera's TASKalfa 552ci prints A3 color at 55 ppm in both color and B&W and is the older-generation color sibling of the 550c family. Designed for small to mid-size offices doing 12,000 to 30,000 pages a month with mixed output. Standard duplex print, scan to email/SMB/FTP, optional fax, and DF-770 stapler with hole-punch finishing. Ecosys long-life drum keeps cost-per-page competitive at color. The 9-inch WVGA touchscreen is the older non-tilting design. One regret: at this generation, Kyocera Cloud Print integration is limited and security firmware is dated. If your IT team requires current security baselines, source the i-series 5054ci or 5053ci instead. The 552ci still earns its keep at refurbished pricing for offices that don't chase new firmware features and want color/B&W parity at a low entry price.
